f SHUTTER-WORKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 585,847, dated July 6, 1897.

Application filed February 2l, 1896. Serial No. 580,225. (No model.)

Le Mans, Department of Sarthe, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shutter-Vorkers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention relates to an appa; ratus serving to close window-shutters from inside without the necessity of opening the sash of the window.

In the accompanying drawings the new device is shown, Figure l being a horizontal section through the lower part of the window. Fig. 2 shows a top view of the parts applied inside of a room, while Fig. 8 is a side view of the same, Fig. 4. being a detail which represents in horizontal and vertical section a boX or casing to be inserted in the brickwork for the reception of partsof the mechanism.

d is a bar secured, preferably, to the lower edge of the shutter, being hinged at its end to a bar or lever b, which has a handle C and is provided with a number ofV holes b. The end with the handle C is projecting inside the room through a horizontal or ylongitudinal slot e in a metallic base-plate E, secured against the wall. Said bar or lever can play in this slot and take the positions indicated in Fig. l by full lines and by dotted lines, being held therein alternately by a springactuated lock and bolt d or catch e. The bolt d is preferably spring-actuated in the ordinary manner of spring-bolts and the lower edge is beveled, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the lever by striking it when moved from right to left presses it back and allows it to fall into one of the holes b. The catch e is secured to a plate e2, which is laterally adjustable by screws e3 in plate F., passing through recesses in the plate e2.

It will easily be understood by examining `the front elevation, Fig. 2, how the plate e2 can be shifted to adj ust the catch c in any desired position along the slot e. In the iniddle of said adjustable plate the catch or bolt e is arranged in a sleeve e4, forming part of the plate e2. Said sleeve is provided with a horizontally and then vertically extending angular slot e5, through which a pin projects from the bolt e, having outside a handle er.

It will be easily understood that the bolt c may be raised by means of this handle e6 and that by swinging the same around in the e3 and shifting the bolt e2 the closed position of the shutter may be so adjusted as to avoid lost motion or play and so as to give it a solid position. A casing f (shown in detail in Fig. 4) is inserted in the brickwork, receiving the end of the arm a and of the lever b with the hinge connecting the two.

The spring-catch d or the bolt e, entering into one of the holes b' of the bar b, will secure a certain position for the shutter,` and thu's it will be possible to secure it under any desired angle or in closed as well as in open position.

I-Iaving thus described my invention, I claiml. A shutter-worker in combination with a window-fram e, a shutter having a bar secured to the lower edge thereof and extending beyond the inner end of the same, a lever pivoted to said inner end of saidbar and having at its other end a handle, said lever being provided with openings therein, a casing adapted to receive said pivoted connection of bar and lever and a base-plate having a longitudinal slot therein secured to the inner side of said window-frame and having thereon an adjustably-mounted plate, a catch secured to said latter plate adapted to engage said lever and a spring-actuated locking-bolt also adapted to engage said lever, all of said parts be ing combined substantially as described.

2. In a shutter-wo rker, a bar secured to the lower edge of said shutter and extending beyond the inner edge thereof, alever pivotally connected to said bar and having a handle secured to its free end, a base-plate having a -lon gitudinally-extendin g slotth erein adapted to receive said lever, a spring-actuated bolt fastened to said plate and adapted to engage IOO said lever, a plate having recesses at each end thereof, screws adapted to pass through said recesses and engage said main plate, a sleeve integral With said adjustable plate and having in its outer surface a horizontally and then vertically extending slot, a bolt mounted in said sleeve having a pin thereon adapted to pass through said horizontally and then vertically extending slot and a handle secured to the outer end of said pin, said bolt being adapted to engage said lever, all of said parts being combined substantially as described.

3. In a shutter-Worker, a bar secured tothe under side of said shutter and extending beyond the inner edge of the same, a lever pivotally secured to the extended arm of said bar and having openings therein, a handle secured to the free end of said lever, a inetallic base-plate having a horizontally-extending slot therein through which the end of the said lever is adapted to pass, a spring-actuated bolt fastened near one end of said slot and adapted to enter said lever-openings, an adjustable plate having recesses near either end thereof, screws mounted in said metallic plate and adapted to clamp saidadjustable plate thereto, a sleeve integral With said latter plate, having an angular slot therein, a bolt mounted in said sleeve having its lower end adapted to enter said lever-openings, a pin secured to said bolt and being adapted to pass through said angular slot and a handle secured to the otheluend of said pin, all of said parts being combined substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

AMDEE LAGARIGNE.
